Chapter 75: Chapter 75
Yu Man knew that Manman rarely made such requests.
Now, with Manman wanting to go to the banquet, it very likely had to do with that mysterious system.
Yu Man knelt down and ruffled Manman’s hair, "Alright! Let’s go have some fun together."
Although she didn’t like such occasions, she wasn’t afraid of anything either.
"In that case, Man, let me take you there!" Lu Cheng exclaimed excitedly.
It had been a long time since he had seen Man shine !
Man was supposed to be dazzling all along; if it weren’t for someone targeting her on purpose, she could definitely have become the youngest SS-level Purification Master!
Yu Man found a moment to avoid the livestream and started chatting with Yu Manman.
"Manman, why do you want to attend the one-year-old banquet?"
"Mom, Auntie Mansa, the little sister whose birthday it is, danger..."
Yu Manman squeezed her own throat and stuck out her tongue.
Yu Man’s thoughts stirred, "Dead?"
Just recently, the system’s voice reappeared in her mind.
[Ding! When Guan Family was in power, they were upright and selfless, yet their youngest female died from poisoning at the one-year-old banquet! From then on, the Guan Family fell into decline! Your arch-enemy Wen Jin’s mother, Mansa, also perished at this banquet!
But because the family of Mansa’s deceased husband caused trouble, Guan Family came to despise Mansa’s family, oppressing them endlessly, leading to their downfall! As such, Wen Jin harbors deep hatred for the Guan Family!]
[Current release of the villain redemption task: Please resolve the misunderstanding between the Guan Family and Wen Jin’s family! Help them discover clues from the incident years ago!]
[Task difficulty: Ten stars!]
[Task reward: Purification Talent doubled! Spiritual power doubled! 1% brain area development!]
"Mama, there are bad people..."
Yu Manman anxiously searched Star Network and found a report.
#Mansa Murders Husband! Beast Husband’s Family Testifies!#
"Mama, bad people! Little sister drinks milk..."
Yu Manman pointed to a tearful couple above.
— "Our Shuo was such a good person! It was Mansa who forcibly took him as a Beast Husband and then killed him!"
So, they’re the ones planning to ruin the one-year-old banquet and possibly commit murder?
Holding a grudge against Mansa, yet targeting a mere one-year-old child by poisoning her drink?
Yu Man’s heart tightened, deducing quite a bit of conspiracy from Manman’s few words!
So, it meant someone was planning something at the one-year-old banquet?
"Mom, can we help Auntie and the little sister?" Yu Manman tugged at her mom’s sleeve.
"Manman, I know, don’t worry, mom will help."
Yu Man pondered deeply...
"Mom, be careful! Let Baba handle it all! Don’t get hurt, and protect the baby!" Yu Manman looked worriedly at Yu Man’s small belly.
In no time, it was time to attend the banquet the next day.
Yu Man wore a red mermaid dress and went to the banquet with her Beast Husband Song Chen and daughter Manman.
"Man, you look stunning!" Lu Cheng wore a gradient green long dress, shimmering under the light like a spring fairy, full of vitality.
Lu Cheng grabbed Yu Man’s hand, "Come on! Let’s go in!"
"Alright." The corner of Yu Man’s eye seemed to catch sight of a black car, making her slightly distracted.
"Man, you’re here after all!" Mu Zhi wore a pink strapless dress, adorned with large flowers made of tulle on the chest.
Beside her, Mu Yaoyao was wearing a matching outfit with her, with a pearl hairpin on her head.
Yu Man couldn’t help but admit, Mu Zhi was indeed a pitiful beauty.
The emerald on Mu Zhi’s chest just didn’t quite match.
Behind Mu Zhi, another person Yu Man disliked even more appeared.
Yu Man’s eyes turned slightly cold.
Zor had also come, and she was alone without a Beast Husband.
"Yu Man, Mu Zhi is kind-hearted and brought me along to see the world." Zor smiled lightly.
Zor had been following Yu Man and Mu Zhi’s livestreams and naturally knew Mu Zhi had sent an invitation to Yu Man.
It was a grand banquet indeed!
Mu Zhi took Yu Man along but didn’t take her?
Clearly, she had a better relationship with Mu Zhi, didn’t she?
Zor couldn’t figure it out either; it was evident that Yu Man wasn’t particularly kind to Mu Zhi, at most maintaining a peaceful relationship, yet Mu Zhi insisted on licking her boots!
Is it just because Yu Man was an S-level Purification Master?
Zor felt indignant! Since Mu Zhi didn’t look for her, she came on her own! Seeking such an opportunity to step into a prestigious family wasn’t embarrassing!
So, right after Mu Zhi left Yu Man’s house, Zor caught up with her, and after some indirect requests, finally got the chance!
"Oh." Yu Man responded coldly.
The smile in Zor’s eyes gradually faded.
Why did Yu Man have such pride?
Wasn’t Yu Man also there thanks to Mu Zhi?
"Man, are you unhappy?" Zor held Mu Zhi’s hand, "If you’re really unhappy, I just won’t go..."
"You’re overthinking it, don’t let your imagination run wild." Yu Man pulled Lu Cheng away.
"Yu Man! You only got the chance to be here because Mu Zhi gave you an invitation! Shouldn’t you thank her properly?"
Zor shouted, drawing many eyes in her direction.
Some watched the drama unfold, while others frowned in disdain.
It was unseemly to quarrel in such a grand setting.
Seeing a female lacking manners in a setting made the whole event feel a bit diminished.
Mu Zhi held Zor’s hand, "Alright, Zor, don’t be , what if we disturb others? I gave the invitation to Yu Man not to get her gratitude."
However, in her heart, Mu Zhi felt a bit pleased.
Although she had given Yu Man an invitation, Yu Man remained aloof, causing Mu Zhi to be somewhat displeased.
Since Zor had called her out so openly, Mu Zhi suddenly felt a lot better.
"Miss, you’re wrong there." Lu Cheng glanced at Zor.
"It’s not like she’s the only one with an invitation. Man came here not using her invite!" Lu Cheng smiled, "Man came with me!"
Hmph, what does it matter to her?
When she gave that invitation, there was a hint of condescension and arrogance in her eyes; don’t think I didn’t notice!
Lu Cheng pulled out her own golden invitation and waved it before them, "Let’s go, Man!"
She handed her invitation to the waiter, who checked the stamp and signature inside, then respectfully returned it to Lu Cheng. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel·fire·net
"Thank you." Lu Cheng took back the invitation and handed it to Shang Yuan, then turned to give Zor a playful tongue-out!
If not for the crowd, Zor would have stomped her feet in anger.
"Mu Zhi, let’s go in too!"
Mu Zhi nodded lightly, holding her invitation up to the waitstaff outside the estate.
The waitstaff glanced at the style of the invitation and returned it with a slight smile.
"Miss, you’re permitted entry with at most two guests, mind letting me know..."
The waitstaff glanced at the three people alongside Mu Zhi.
"Then how did the ones before us get in!"
